nm, top row finished!
... take a break and relax ... re4
I would be re6 if I didn't mention the one
... sorry ... I misinterpreted "can't find one" as "can't find any"
could be read either way
just when I thought it was going to be easy, the s's tripped me up
... don't tell me that ... I haven't looked at the bottom esses
I haven't gotten there either, just found 9 of the top s
... still missing two of them
... nope ... got'em all ... ... which means I must move to the bottom
found all the p's but 1 which is also unusual
.. stats for that one? ... I've most of the p's but no unusual one
IDK? I'm just missing one. I was just saying it was unusual for me to not struggle with the p's because they're usually weird
finished the o's too!
2 x pe5/12
... yes ... I'll have to list for them later
hmm, looks like I just have 1 pe5/12, so that must be it then, thx, ata
got it! 1st & 2nd col gray!
... there's the p ... always easier to find them when you know they're there ... thanks
... well! this is the earliest I've been done in a long, long time ... ... barkeep! a good day for everyone! ... until tomorrow ...
I got bogged down a little and then had to take the dog out. don't think I'm going to finish without a list though. 24 left. def. the smoothest going in a long time. have a good day!
3rd col gray!
I've got 3 M's left...
Just spent way to much time on a de4

Smarty pants...
I got them all.
Eh, there is an id4 in this grid that throws me every time. It is in grids all the time, but my brain refuses to remember it.
I'm heading to a zoom meeting...See you all tomorrow.

Funny story: Wend to the pharmacy yesterday. Saw an older dude (65 +) wearing a sleep mask over his mouth. The definition of "you're doing it WRONG".
it may have been the only mask he had...at least he was trying to do what he should...better than those young guys my nephew ran into at the store who were not wearing any masks and kept crowding him....
Could I have the stats for the k please?
NM got them
heading out....bbl to find my last 28....bye all....
i would love help with the k words please. ty
At this point, there are so many people wearing masks the right way, I don't see how you can do it wrong. I'm hoping he was at the pharmacy to buy the correct type masks anyway.
Off I go to earn a living. See y'all tomorrow!
many are wearing masks over mouth only and not nose. weird.

grats
just like yesterday. down to 11 and no sign of an 8 letter word. need to buckle down and hunt.
they are pretty easy but let me know if you want a nudge
just found one. still on my first pass though
thanks. i am gong to look for a bit. on the whole, a pretty easy grid
yes, it's a nice grid
are they plurals?
mine is pt
the easiest I've played in a long, long time
one is pt, one is a compound
ty.
i was tyring to hold out but i touched up ny hair today. it's amazing how muchbetter i feel.
first pass, 29 to go
still missing two tiles though - one being that K - do I need khardashian to solve this grid?
i think it's good to keep up. i mean, i'm in jeans and tees mostly, at least i can style my hair.
close.
got it!
ty for the clue :)
or the khlue.
very subtle.
ha!
nbt!
25 to go.
restop - like the place we go for coffee on the turnpike.
will probably touch my hair up this week as well. but I had been doing it myself for a while. I did some purple early in the quarantine but it is almost completely gone.
i guess that woyld be fun but for older folks i don;t like it. owner of my salon has black hair and touched it with purple. she has a classic short cut, it looks ok. but old people with pink is pretty weird to my eye.
i do like the streaks, though. i've done a pink and a purple with chalk.
LOL, I have this one neighbor who is like the mayor here, knows everyone, talks to everyone. I have to pass his house on 95% of my walking routes and then end up there for 20 min talking.
got the other 8
anyhoo, he said whenever he sees older people with colors like that he thinks they have mental problems. I told him maybe I do.
great, harry. if i looked i might even see it. although i did want rest stop.
i am going back through my list to look for prospects.
hah carla
okay, back to try and knock off these last 3
I think a bit of purple looks great on silver hair
2 to go
wtg mool
22 here
almost there HH
20!
rocketing through it ;)
FTR, I only have like 5 (okay, 10 now) gray hairs. my hair is brown, chemically enhanced to blonde. The purple looked great, just didn't last long at all.
stuck now. will bbl to list.
you can find more before you list, HH. really not that many weird ones. I bogged down around 24 but then came back to 5 that I had to list for.
I have grey in my beard, but none in my hair yet...though I'm kind of a dirty blonde, so tends to be later
fw
did this one entirely without help so that's nice
my mom had dark hair and didn't get a lot of gray until late 50s early 60s, so I hope I inherited that
well done!
Yeah, I guess my dad is similar...not sure he's really got grey that much now and he's 71
my dad just turned 80 and he's like santa claus white now
tx hoke, have had a much higher completion rate lately
smaller boards help of course
not me, usually the smaller ones have weirder words
lol, got distracted here and forgot why I sat down at my computer.
Clue for the bottom I?
what you get when a lightbulb appears overhead
Oh good god...thanks.
someone clued the de6,27 earlier, but I didn't understand the clue..any help?
i think on blond and gray, a touch of purple is nice. i loved st vincent when she has that smoky grey with purple . but then, she's only barely 40.
de6/27 - start with Archbishop Tutu but end with the impulsive part of the mind
tyvm
My pleasure.
hi va!
vi
so I clicked on "kh4" to see what it meant, and the dictionary came up with "no results found for Freimplepants" ???
I tried it and it just came up with no results found.
Although it means a plot of land (Indian)
kh4 (noun) 1. (in Thailand) a district or locality 2. Indian a plot of cultivated land
The dictionary here does not have definitions of all the weird words Enable allows. That is from the Collins dictionary.
I wonder why mine comes up with Freimplepants. Now I really want to know what freimplepants are lol
Sometimes google can be useful :-)
google hasn't found freimplepants.
a
There is a Frimplepants though.
Frimplepants appears to be a unicorn in a story.
4 to go. trying to get through this w/o a list
hi all, stumbling in
3
go go go harry !!!
I am sure it will not take you long, Harry.
Hello, BDG.

nbt woot
hiy a zoom
hello everyone, Harry!
a slightly bigger grid...nice!
omg found an 8 all by myself
Hi BDG, Trif
great gwen! hmmm, I will have to get in gear here!
When I click on the ? next to kh4 it just says "no results found". If you are getting a word like freimplepants I would suggest you check your computer for viruses.

2 to go
Have a good day.
hi all
i pray everyone is doing well
still here in Florida and if all goes quietly, we will be heading to NC mid June.
I miss my kids
but if you have to get stuck somewhere for a couple of months, Florida this time of year is a blessing
hey sue, we are neighbors!
where are you hokie?
about 10 min from concord mills
I mean, we're not neighbors now if you're in FL
hokie, charlotte or concord?
we're actually Huntersville but Cab. Co, so closer to Concord.
i have a house in concord.
my kids are there and one is next to concord mills
one is in SC
I have probably crossed paths with the one at CM :D
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. Soft tacos, chips, salsa and guacamole are on the way. God bless food delivery.

a very small amount of something
Thankyou peri and Jshap GOT IT NOW.

stats for the 8s pls?
So, will we continue with the tiny grids, or will the Babble Gods knock us with a whopper tomorrow? Players everywhere stay up late to see.
It
Might be
Si and fi 8 TO
Yw
Yep, si8 and fi8 are what the list says.
no need for sarcasm. i am just back.
i realize how testy people are, being restricted in their homes and all.
hello, TO how are you?
My mistake. I thought you were still here ignoring the chat. Sorry
hello TO! and hello friends
any red dwarf fans?
Hello Trifioso! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
hello min. Im good thanks, how are you?
finally found an 8 whoo!
Doing well Trifioso. Sorry if I dont respond right away.I'm also checking my e-mail which I have not checked in five days. I have a lot to catch up on. Do you need any clues?
good evening. I hate it when I don't clear out myemails everyday, Min. I'm currently working on getting rid of 204 emails from the weekend & today.
Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
I have 3 different e-mail accounts, so my e-mails add up!
Sorry, for the slow response, Min. I quit having so many email accounts when I retired 6 years ago. It makes some things easier, but too many emails on a daily basis either way.
I am STILL going through my e-mail. I have 3 accounts for different audiences. Use my Yahoo acct whenever I order something online.All my junk mail gets sent to my Yahoo
I use my gmail account for family and friends only.Do not get junk mail in my gmail.Finally,I have work e-mail acct
I had gmail for work, comcast for junk mail, and my mac account for family & friends. I hated gmail because I have a mac & Ialways thought it was a clunky system but I guess that's because I'm on a mac? IDK.
I finally gotrid of comcast cable & internet & life has been much easier since then. ;-)
<--- hates comcast
We were stuck with it for many years because of the topography here; they had an office about a mile to the southeast of our house and every other direction was water or wetlands around us; so they had a monopoly on our little area of the Cities here.
Hello rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
And they didn't care if the squirrels chewed up our wires or our service was lousy; no one else wanted to run cable to this area.
I did not like Comcast when I had them too ru. I also did not like dish network. I have Verizon Vios now which isn't too bad. Get cable through landlord so I have no choice.
Thanks for your story, Min. Your clues helped me find a few words I'd missed
emid
Oops! sorry, not a word.
That non-words reversed IS a word that is in the grid Nef
I know; I found it from your hint! ;-)
Oh yeah,I forgot I used the word in my story.By the way, that story was COMPLETELY made up! Most of them are.
I know, you've told us that before. At one point I was concerned about you because your story was so sad.
Holey Moley!I just realized it is almost flip time. I better find my last two. I hope monkeys' brain are awake now.
My life has been sad before,but I am doing well now Nef
I have 52 words left yet. *Someday* I will get here before 10 PM and finish grids earlier.
divorce final & ex all gone now?
and your house sold at a good price too?
Divorce is final and ex is MOSTLY gone. Still bothers me.
Sorry that that's still a headache for you.
Honestly,just feel bad for him because he can't move on
I hope you aren't caring for him any more.
I don't care for him, but I do care about him.I'm not sure what the difference is, but there is one. I do not care to be with him, but I do want him to move on & be happy.
I am finished! I have fireworks! de7/40 was my last word
YAY, MIN!!! WTG!!!
Min, I meant more of the physical (nursing-type) of caring for him. Being concerned about someone you lived with is probably very natural after any lengthof time
Any guesses for the next grid size? My guess is 893 words
258 words (I hope)
Well,I am still taking care of him with alimony payments
There is nothing I can do for him physically. He is obese!
I am surprised he has not ended up in the hospital again.
OMG, Min! I mis-read what you wrote & thought you said 393 words! If the grid had over 800 words, I'd be scared silly at evenopening it!
why do you have to pay alimony?
Ex-husband chose his lifestyle. He will have to live with the choices he has made. I cannot do anything about it.
I know; but by you having to pay alimony he doesn't *have* to change, does he?
I pay alimony because I was the "monied spouse" when I filed for divorce. He had no income, whatsoever. I also have to give him half my savings and half my pension.
Have already paid 2 years of alimony.This is my last year
oh, Pooh! That's awful.
NY is a 50/50 state so everything gets split 50/50,assets and debt. Unfortunately, he get half my assets and I got half of his debt which totally sucks for me, but oh well
